Aron Donnum's early free-kick was blocked, but Toulouse's defense didn't have to wait long for punishment. Joao Neves swiftly delivered a stunning acrobatic overhead kick, leaving the home crowd in awe.

Before the 10-minute mark, Bradley Barcola made a decisive break, beating Djibril Sidibe and calmly slotting the ball past Guillaume Restes to give the visitors a 2-0 lead, silencing the home fans.

In an astonishing turn of events, Joao Neves struck again with another breathtaking overhead kick, this time before the 15-minute mark, further solidifying the visitors' dominance.

Frank Magri's attempt was thwarted as Toulouse tried to break through PSG's dominant performance, but it was a brief reprieve against Luis Enrique's team, who were showcasing their skill with plenty of time to spare.

Bradley Barcola's cross-cum-shot almost fooled Guillaume Restes, and the momentum continued in PSG's favor. The visitors sealed their fourth goal when Cristian Casseres fouled Desire Doue, earning PSG a penalty, which Ousmane Dembele calmly converted, showcasing his prowess.

Toulouse's persistent pressure finally paid off when Charlie Cresswell thundered the ball home in the 36th minute, giving the hosts a glimmer of hope.

In first-half injury time, Toulouse had a golden opportunity to level the score, but PSG goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier made a stunning double save, denying Magri's initial penalty and Casseres' retake, keeping his side ahead heading into the break.

The second half kicked off with Achraf Hakimi testing Guillaume Restes' limits, as PSG maintained their relentless pressure. On the 50-minute mark, Bradley Barcola was fouled by Djibril Sidibe, resulting in yet another penalty for PSG, which Ousmane Dembele calmly slotted home.

PSG continued to dominate possession, pushing forward aggressively and forcing Toulouse to resort to a defensive back five in an attempt to contain the visitors. With Joao Neves and Vitinha dictating the tempo in midfield, Toulouse were forced to play long balls, which only played into PSG's hands.

PSG's Ousmane Dembele was forced off the pitch with a suspected hamstring injury, but it didn't impact the outcome of the game.

Joao Neves sealed his hat-trick and man-of-the-match performance with a stunning goal, firing home from the edge of the box.

Toulouse managed to salvage some pride with Yann Gboho scoring a late consolation goal in the 90th minute, and Alexis Vossah added another in injury time, but it was too little, too late to change the result.

PSG's 22nd win in 27 Ligue 1 matches against Toulouse was all but certain, with the visitors dominating from the get-go. They took the lead after just nine minutes, showcasing their superiority on the pitch. This decisive victory propelled PSG back to the top of the Ligue 1 table.
